Re: 2000 Trooper Transmission Fluid/Filter Change
Well by the time we cycled through the gears I'd say the engine had run at least 4-5 minutes; the engine was up to normal operating temperature. An awfully lot of fluid did pour out the fill port. I'll check the level tonight immediately after starting the engine. If needed, I'll add fluid with the tranny in P.
I did not lube the driveshaft, but will also do this tonight as well.
I changed the differential and transfer case fluid a couple of years ago and put in synthetic (Royal Purple).
A local tranny shop (that was recommended to me) wants to run a diagnostic ($89) on the tranny and do a fluid exchange ($190) with no chemical flush, but with an anti-slip additive. We've got an appointment for July 10, unless what I do tonight fixes it...here's hoping.
Thanks.
